Brown Hotel and Conference Center |
BLACKSBURG, March 4, 2004 � The Hilton Hotel
Corporation has named Larry E. York of Hardy, Va., to serve as assistant
general manager of Virginia Tech�s Donaldson Brown Hotel and Conference
Center (DBHCC). In his new capacity, York will supervise operations at
DBHCC and oversee the transition to operation of The Inn at Virginia Tech
and Skelton Conference Center when the new complex opens in 2005.
Hilton began managing the on-campus facility for the university last
fall.
Other staff changes at Donaldson Brown include the appointment of former interim managing director Robert Muse of Blacksburg, Va., as director of conference services; Vicky Price of Blacksburg, Va., as human resources coordinator; and Teresa Hughes of Roanoke, Va., as assistant director of sales. The senior leadership team at the Hotel Roanoke is now directing corresponding departments at both facilities. Founded in 1872 as a land-grant college, Virginia Tech has grown to become the largest university in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Today, Virginia Tech�s eight colleges are dedicated to putting knowledge to work through teaching, research, and outreach activities and to fulfilling its vision to be among the top 30 research universities in the nation. At its 2,600-acre main campus located in Blacksburg and other campus centers in Northern Virginia, Southwest Virginia, Hampton Roads, Richmond, and Roanoke, Virginia Tech enrolls more than 28,000 full- and part-time undergraduate and graduate students from all 50 states and more than 100 countries in 170 academic degree programs. Last year, Continuing and Professional Education at Virginia Tech reached an additional 70,000 people in more than 450 courses and programs, many of them presented at Donaldson Brown. |
